Well I never thought I would even consider parting company with this bass, but times change. This has been my one and only bass for the last 19 years, until I bought an even older Fender Jazz. I don't know what it is, but I'm a one bass kind of guy and having two basses seems excessive, plus I'm just not playing my old Pedulla anymore. Add to it that I've got a little one (baby) on the way and I'm trying to build up some funds to lessen any financial anxiety. So with that said, here's the dealio on my Pedulla.
First, this is not for everyone who wants a Pedulla MVP, because unlike many boutique bass guitar owners, I never treated it with kid gloves, it's got wear. There's not an area that doesn't have some chip or ding, and that area by the J pick up, well one day all the finish wear was bugging me so I poured some shellac over it and needless to say, it didn't blend so hot. I'm going to take a bunch more pictures of the entire bass that show it in all in gory glory, but regardless of the wear, I still think it looks pretty darn awesome.
It plays fantastic, great low action that you can really dig into without clacking up a storm (something I can't do on my Jazz) The sustain is superb, the neck is straight and it weighs around 8.9 lbs on my cheap digital scale. It's got nice gold hardware that compliments the color, those red knobs are from an old synth but I have the original black ones too, plus the OHSC.
Anyhow, if there is any interest I will of course get more pictures and any info requested, I bought it used in 1991 and am the second owner, and the one who put all the wear on it. So I feel kind of bad putting it up on the block but if I can get a decent price then off to a new home it goes. If not, I'm happy to keep it in the family. It's tough to sort out the market value for it since it's got wear (which does not effect playability or sound) and that it's not a super collectible instrument. I'm asking $799 shipped, thanks!
